You raise a good point: Why did Trump ignore all kinds of rules about nepotism to give his son-in-law a significant role in White House affairs?

Exactly.

Don't know why it doesn't seem to disturb the general population that he and Ivanka have so much influence as non-elected officials.

I can't wait for this shitshow to be over.

I'm nervous about which plane we'll be in when the pendulum swings back. Hopefully not Democratic Socialism. Hopefully not establishment Corporatism either.

The GOP is dead to me though. All of it. They'll get no credit from me, turning on Trump now. The deadline to demonstrate integrity by putting country over party has long passed.

This is real weird

Like a guy on CNN said, it doesn't make any sense because if you want to talk to Russia in secret then you just talk to the ambassador directly, and the fact that this was leaked from a Russian communication is suspicious in itself

Has Eric Prince popped up again yet? He organized the last secret Russian meeting in Africa and is part of Trumps biggest super PAC. What's homie been up to lately besides renting out his personal air force to China to control African mines? Oh and keeping his sister Betsy Devos in the inner circle.

Like he and Kush must have each other on top 3 speed dial.

This. Even with no Russian connection, nepotism alone should be an ethical breach. Just imagine the outrage if we had Chelsea Clinton with the same level of power and influence Jared and Ivanka have.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser, Jared Kushner, had at least three previously undisclosed contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States during and after the 2016 presidential campaign, seven current and former U.S. officials told Reuters.

Those contacts included two phone calls between April and November last year, two of the sources said. By early this year, Kushner had become a focus of the FBI investigation into whether there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, said two other sources - one current and one former law enforcement official.

Kushner initially had come to the attention of FBI investigators last year as they began scrutinizing former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s connections with Russian officials, the two sources said.

While the FBI is investigating Kushner’s contacts with Russia, he is not currently a target of that investigation, the current law enforcement official said.

The new information about the two calls as well as other details uncovered by Reuters shed light on when and why Kushner first attracted FBI attention and show that his contacts with Russian envoy Sergei Kislyak were more extensive than the White House has acknowledged.

NBC News reported on Thursday that Kushner was under scrutiny by the FBI, in the first sign that the investigation, which began last July, has reached the president’s inner circle.

The FBI declined to comment, while the Russian embassy said it was policy not to comment on individual diplomatic contacts. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Kushner's attorney, Jamie Gorelick, said Kushner did not remember any calls with Kislyak between April and November.

"Mr Kushner participated in thousands of calls in this time period. He has no recollection of the calls as described. We have asked (Reuters) for the dates of such alleged calls so we may look into it and respond, but we have not received such information," she said.

The next realignment in the US is likely going to be something like that

Imagine a synthesis of Obama and Sanders, and that's what the Dems will look like around the next realignment.

We'll see. We're due for another realignment in the next decade or so, but who knows with gerrymandering/voter suppression how long it will take to wave over

One poli analyst I've read has said not until 2028 (Dem like Sherrod Brown wins in 2020, GOP wins in 2024, then Dems take back in 2028)

Others say 2024 (Trump or whatever candidate the GOP vomits up in 2020 wins, then a Dem wins in 2024)

And a lot put it on 2020 where the Dems win by reversing Trump's populism. Either Bernie or someone running on his policies.

Same with them making playful little memes or jokes about it

"Ah I'm a trump supporter that must make me a Russian agent!"

like they're aware that they themselves taking it less seriously won't actually alter any sort of actual thing about it, right?

Kushner was looking to get favorable loans from Russian banks for his friends (Trump's friends), it looks like. This is completely different outside of the collusion, mind you - 2 separate levels of unethical behavior.

That is indeed a crime for anyone employed in the white house.

This. What I would give to be arguing about whether a political philosophy makes sense rather than about whether our president is an insane treasonous liar or not.

It's why I wanted Bernie vs Kasich, if I'd had my choice. I was a Bernie dude, but I do believe Kasich is at least a decent human being from a different part of the political spectrum that would've represented us well.
